I participated in a heart swap on the picasa forum. Joy was my partner and look at the wonderful hearts she made me. This is the front

and this is the back, cute huh!

this heart smells so wonderful of lavender

And these are the hearts I made for Joy.

This heart is made from the pattern that I found on a wonderful blog called http://cindycountryhome.blogspot.com

I also made a small heart for pins and I included a fake buxus heart in the swap but silly me forgot to take photo's of those items.

At the moment I'm crocheting these granny squares. It's a wonderfull thing to do when I'm watching tv, sitting in the garden or in the car.
I'm only using these 3 coloures.
I noticed on a couple of other blogs some more granny squares in lovely green and purple colours and I'm thinking of using those colours in another granny square blanket.

I'm also working on a lovely stitchery that I found on a lovely blog

http://cindycountryhome.blogspot.com

It's really worth a visit.

There are also other projects that I'm working on but I still have to make photo's of those.

Hopefully I can find sometime to do that tomorrow.

On sunday 24th May we had a lovely day with some woman from a wondeful forum of people who love to decorate their houses and gardens.It was absolutely a wonderful day, it was so sunny and we where able to meet lots of wonderful woman of whom some we never had seen before.It was held in a great brocante shop of someone from the forum, it's absolutely amazing, I didn't know where to look first!!!!!!

Here are all the presents waiting. And look at thise tasty pies!

Doesn't it look gorgious! I will definately go back to that shop more.

We each made a gift for someone( we didn't know for who) and this is what I received, so lovely.

And this woman received my present. I made 2 fabric hearts filled with lavender and a soap wreaped in wool.

I have participated in a great bag swap over at snicker doodles dreams.
I received this gorgious bag from Kjerstin.I just love it. Just look at this gorgious stitchery!

And this is at the back.

And she also send me this wonderful bag pattern that I'm soon going to try.

And this is the bag that I made for my partner.

I sure want to make that stitchery again, it's so lovely.

Sorry for the blurry photo's......

I'm a bad blogger I know.
There just isn't much time these days to sit behind the computer and there is also not much to tell and show. But that is going to change now. I finally have made some photo's of our livingroom . But unfortunately there isn't much to see yet because our cupboard and curtains haven't arrived yet. but they will arrive tomorrow and then we can start to decorate the walls, yippie!!!!!

Here are some photo's I have taken.
A close up from a lovely bouqet of flowers I have bought.

This is our livingroom table.

A flower arangement I made.

We have 2 of these, they are very comfortable and once you sit in them you don't want to get up anymore.

The brown cupboard and the church chair have moved with us, the other seat is new and we also have 2 of it.

The tv cupboard is also new.

The cupboard that arrives tomorrow is also white. As you can see it's a bit different then we had in our other house. I love this style very much.

I try to be back soon with more photo's of our house and new neighbourhood.

I'm finally back on my blog again . These lat couple of weeks we have been very busy at our new house and hopefully we can move in within 2 weeks.Then we have to get our old house ready for it's new owners.
I guess that will be an emotional day for me since we lived here for 20 years. But we're also all looking forward to move in our new house.
Here are some new photo's.
This is the front. the light bricks are going to painted white as soon as the weather gets better, then they also have to paint the frames of the windows and doors. Our front door.

The back.

Our neighbours at the back, these houses aren't finished yet.

This was taken last week.

The front door.

Our garden doors and on the floor you can see the first layer of wood and yesterday and today they put in a wonderful aged looking oak floor.

The front.

I really hope to be back soon and then from our new home.
